Republican Ascendancy under Grant

Grant’s victory in the Election of 1868 continued a string of Republican presidential triumphs that would persist into the 20th century, interrupted only by Grover Cleveland's victories in 1884 and 1892. Grant was overwhelmingly returned to office in the Election of 1872, but his second administration was severely marred by a series of scandals.

As public interest in Reconstruction waned, attention turned to the pressing economic turmoil following the Panic of 1873. Farmer and debtor groups in the West and South sought relief in the greenback movement.

A bright spot was provided by the diplomatic successes of Secretary of State Hamilton Fish.
